Drip directly on the atomizer?

[Syav]

Howdy folks!

I saw a couple of youtube videos where you can drip directly to the atomizer for Ego devices rather than dripping into a 2 piece carto like the standard BOGE carto, then you attach a drip tip to the atomizer. Is this a safe method? Are there any chances that liquid dripped directly to the atomizer may leak to the battery? I'm using KGO with 2.0ohm LR atomizers.

Any feedback appreciated .​

Here's what I use for dripping.

From left to right:
#1 510-510 short extension (don't need when using your Kgo)
#2 atomizer
#3 drip shield (use a drip shield cone with your Kgo)
#4 drip tip

Yes it's safe. The KGO is a sealed battery so the juice can't get to the battery. Dripping is a bit of a hassle and is a little messy, but provides the best/truest flavor. Some of the juice will leak down into the battery connection area of the KGO. Just mop it out periodically with a paper towel. No worries.

If you find you like dripping, a bottom feeder such as the Reo provides all the benefits of dripping with none of the hassle or mess.

I think the KGO is a sealed battery so you should be okay.
Wait for conformation on that though, I don't have one.
If you really want to experience how good dripping can be grab a good dripping atty,
like a IKV or Cisco. It took me 6 months to get an Ikenvape atty. I never knew what all the buzz
over dripping was about 'till I got a good dripping atty.

Edit. Phone rang while typing..late to the party again!

Thanks for the responses, everyone!

Thanks for the photo! Is drip shield a safety measure, a dripping atty like Hitmetwice suggested, or is it something I need to get for my KGO? I'm new to this stuff and just got my KGO less than 2 weeks ago.

The drip shield serves many functions. They were first designed for the 901 atty which has an air hole in the side. They made a hell of a mess when dripping, but almost all atties leak a little when dripping. The drip shield places an o-ring just below the air slots in the bottom of the connector and serves like a small reservoir. The vacuum you create when drawing on the atty then pulls that juice back into the atty so that you vape it instead of getting it all over everything. You can also enlarge the small air holes at the top of the sheld to loosen the draw, or slide the shield up so that the o-ring partlially covers the connector to tighten the draw.

This is what we use to do before there were drip shields (and lens cleaners)

I like using a LR306 with a Cannon drip tip - it's big enough that I don't have to put on my reading glasses when dripping.

I see how it works now, thanks a bunch!
